Dancing On Ice pro skater Colin Grafton has opened up on the heartbreaking loss of his grandfather, who passed away from Alzheimer's at age 70 when he was a teenager
The professional skater was partnered with The Vivienne on the ITV ice skating show earlier this year, with the couple finishing the show in third place.
Speaking to Express.co.uk, he said: "Like any family, it was tough on all of us, for sure. I think once we had the diagnosis and what I think was unique about my grandfather he saw things. He came to terms with it. Like, 'I think something is wrong here.'""But I think the priority for my family was to make him as comfortable as possible. Make him feel loved and make the process as painless as possible.
American pro skater Colin was partnered with drag artist The Vivienne on the 2023 series of Dancing On Ice earlier this year. In second place was TOWIE star Joey Essex and his partner Vanessa Bauer, who scored a place in the final following a dramatic double elimination.
